Bennett Marine, Auto Trim Pro Control, Beige

I like it once you observe the level of trim by lights, and for the auto trim is nice 👌

Not able to set the step 2 starting speed. QuestionHow do I reset the unit if the initial settings wrong of not complete? Not shown in the guidelines

I finally got around to installing my trim tab system and the control buttons are unresponsive. Taking a look online this is a common issue. I need help from seller to get this replaced.

Easy to install and works as it should. I installed it on my 26' Shamrock replacing an existing controller.

Everything is straight forward and easy to install. There is a control box and a switch to install. The control box has a power(orange) and a ground(black). The switch has a key power(purple), ground (black) and a power(orange). The purple is what makes tabs auto retract when you turn the key off. The trim tabs will stay on if you have the orange wires going straight to power. You need to have a switch to turn them on.

First impressions of the AutoTrim Pro and 6"x12" Bolt tabs on our Four Winns H180 ... After the first calibration procedure the AutoTrim Pro worked for putting the tabs up and down during acceleration and deceleration, but did not correct for listing. After a second calibration everything worked correctly. The calibration step for accelerating in a straight line is difficult to perform. It took several times before it would flash the LEDs after acceleration. Not sure if I needed to, but I started from scratch each time that step did not work. Setting the FAV button is also something that takes some experimenting to get the auto mode to work just as you want it to; not using too much trim and not using too little. One thing to note is that it does not correct quickly for listing. Every few seconds it makes a small (incremental) adjustment to the trim tabs. It keeps doing this until the FAV setting is reached. It can take 10 to 20 seconds on our boat. Another thing to note is if you are testing the list correction by shifting weight to one side (leaving the helm in the process), the boat will start turning enough that the auto mode will not make any adjustments. All in all I am very pleased with this system and would recommend it, but in order to get it to work correctly you have to follow the calibration procedure exactly and if the unit does not flash the lights like it is supposed to on any calibration step, start over and try again. One other thing ... The first calibration was in relatively calm water (by my definition). The second one was in calm water. That may have made a difference as well.

Keep it simple, just buy the normal control unit. I have had issue on new boat with this system, both performance and durability. Finally had it removed and returned back to standard controls (EIC)Pros - All down/All up function is nice which is only thing you can't get with other control systemCons - Never quite got it to work automatically after many recals, never responded fast enough. Finally control unit seemed to lock solenoids on, resulting in no trim tab actuation

Last Summer ('18) I installed a Bennet Auto Trim Pro on my Bayliner 249 SD. The thing wouldn't program and Bennet had to replace the control module TWICE before it worked properly - which is an ordeal because you need to take the whole thing apart and ship it back before they will send out a replacement. It worked well all summer, but I had the boat wrapped and stored (outdoors) for the winter and now it's broken again. It apparently fried during the winter and Bennet is now sending me ANOTHER unit (this will be the 4th one).The company's been around for more than 50 years, so either I've just been wildly unlucky or their products are garbage.
